Which code corresponds to Suicide?

• A. Code 14
• B. Code 12
• C. Code 16
• D. Code 21

Answer: (C)

An incident codes system is used to convey quickly what type of emergency is occurring, so responders can activate the right teams and follow the proper procedures without delay. Within this base’s code set, suicide is mapped to Code 16. That makes it the best choice because it directly reflects the official association used by responders to categorize and route a response for a suicide event, ensuring a rapid, coordinated effort from security, medical, and mental health resources as needed. The other numbers correspond to different incident categories in the same scheme, so they would not signal suicide. Remembering this mapping and staying familiar with the base’s code sheet helps you respond quickly and correctly in real situations.
